David Coverdale - Shake My Tree

Now I don't want to be your slave,
You're trying to drive me through an early grave
All I ever hear, is that you live and breathe for me
But, all you ever do, babe, is shake my tree

'Cos you keep on pushing, baby,
Like you never, ever been in love before

I told you once and I tell you twice,
I am no schoolboy you can sacrifice
You want my love an' you want it now,
You try to love me, baby, but you don't know how

So you keep on pushing, baby,
Like you never, ever been in love before

I need love and I need time,
And a little bit of both, if you wanna be friend of mine
I don't want no woman, drive me outta my head
You're the kind of girl, guaranteed to wreck my bed

Love is what you need,
But, you cut down to the bone and make me bleed
I give you everything, still you cry
Ooh, mama, the price of loving you is way too high

But, you keep on talking, baby, I've heard it all before
I don't want you hanging around, or kicking at my door

But, you keep on pushing, mama,
Like you never, ever been in love before

I know love and I know shame
And I ain't gonna get caught up in your game
It took a little time to make me see,
I ain't lookin' for a woman like you to shake my tree

So keep on talking, baby, keep on hanging around
Everything you do to me, is sure to drag me down

You keep on pushing, mama,
Like you never, ever been in love before

Shake my tree
I don't want to be your slave,
You're trying to drive me to an early grave
You keep on talking, no matter what you say
I've had enough of your kind of love, to last me all my days

So keep on pushing baby, I've heard it all before
I don't want you hanging around, or kicking at my door

Now I don't want your loving, baby, I can't take it anymore,
I don't want you hanging around, kicking at my door
If I see your face again, I'll give you what's in store
But, you'll keep on pushing, baby,
'Cos you've never, ever been in love before
